I would go to the tattoo studio often.. hot men.. yes. and the piercer (Fred) was so cool. I was looking at what he had and i saw he had an industrial. I just kept staring at it, well that and the rook (which i am getting next week). Then i went to a concert and i saw more people with it and i was so amazed it was about the greatest thing for me. I told my mom about it, she agreed to let me have it done (since i need her b/c i am only 16). We went to the place and i was so happy. I wasn't really scared. I was excited. I had wanted this for a while.. my mom stayed outside.. (old-fashioned).. my friend came with me to watch. So Fred was telling me about the equipment but i already know b/c i got my eyebrow pierced. Then we were just having casual talk and he was like "Most people scream or cry" and i was like "thanks for telling me that before i get it done" that is when i became scared. So i clenched my teeth and hands. He said "ready" and then pushed the needle through. It hurt but it wasn't terrible. Then he made the other hole, which didn't seem to hurt to bad probably b/c i was stilling feeling the first hole. Then he was like "now i got to put the jewerly in" and i was like oh no.. but i didn't feel a thing. It hurt yes, but I am proud, the 12g Industrial was in. and looked cute. He said i had perfect ears for it.. It was hot feeling but i learn to deal with pain.
I went out that night with friends and they kept making me laugh, which for some reason made my ear stretch i guess and it hurt. So i tried not to.. but with the friends i have was really hard. I think I am good with pain and it no longer hurts (i have had it for 3 days).. when i touch it or my hair gets caught on it and pulls it.. it isn't really comfortable. And today a friend didn't know i had it and grabbed me by the head pulling on the ball and i bought died. So i say it was a good piercing to have if you want it. The amount of pain is worth it.. Mine is healing nicely. Next im on my way to get the rook peirced. Which will hurt even more probably.. but it is worth it.
